A powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck Haiti yesterday, ten miles of the capital of Port-au-Prince, followed by at least twenty aftershocks. The quake caused major destruction and life loss throughout the affected area. The death toll still remains unknown, but is estimated to be in the thousands. Doctors Without Borders estimates around three million people could be affected. Much of Port-au-Prince is believed to be destroyed, with the majority of buildings sustaining structural damage. It is being reported that nearly all hospitals in Port-au-Prince area have either collapsed or been abandoned. Some are describing the situation on the ground in Haiti as "worse than a war zone."

Here is the most up-to-date list of the compounds destroyed or damaged:

• National Palace

• Martissant health centre
• Solidarite maternity hospital
• Doctors Without Borders Trinité trauma center hospital
